Postseason Awards: ACC

Every 1st team all-conference player was tough to pick. The ACC and the Big East had a plethora of well qualified candidates. I mixed and matched certain positions. My teams try to combine the five best players with somewhat of a conventional lineup.

Player of the Year: Tyler Hansbrough, North Carolina

In the end, he has some of the best numbers and is so valuable to his team. First in scoring and not far behind in rebounding.

Freshman of the Year: Sylven Landesburg, Virginia

This was a tough call with Al-Farouq Aminu turning in a great season. In the end, it was Landesburg's better numbers and lack of supporting cast that gives him the award in a close race.

Coach of the Year: Dino Gaudio, Wake Forest

2010 was supposed to be the Demon Deacons coming out party. Gaudio's steady hand has Wake in position for a three seed in the NCAA Tournament.

1st Team All-Conference:

F Tyler Hansbrough, UNC
F Trevor Booker, Clemson
G/F Gerald Henderson, Duke
SG Jack McClinton, Miami
PG Ty Lawson, UNC

2nd Team All Conference:

F Gani Lawal, Georgia Tech
F Kyle Singler, Duke
SG Toney Douglas, Florida State
PG/SG Jeff Teague, Wake Forest
PG Tyrese Rice, Boston College
